110 LARGE-MOUTH BLACK BASS. 



The places here mentioned are the only ones 

 that I have a personal knowledge in which they 

 are found ; hut I have no douht they are abun- 

 dant in the lakelets of Michigan and Wisconsin, 

 and probably many other locations, though it has 

 not so general a distribution as the common Bass. 



This fish would do well in artificial ponds, 

 provided the ponds were" of good size. It is not, 

 however, as well-flavored as the common Bass, 

 nor does it afford as good sport to the angler, 

 being less active, and not holding out near as 

 long. Bites freely the live or dead minnow, also 

 the spoon and squid. Habits in spawning in all 

 respects as the common Bass. The eggs and 

 young fish may be treated in the same manner as 

 the Black Bass.
